St. Louis Collection 1840-1885

by Evonne Cook

This collection is representative of the rare vintage textiles often found in St. Louis but originating in Europe and the Southern United States. The focal print is an adaptation of a rare French decorating linen dating back to 1840. The muted purple, blue and wine colors are intentional to represent the fading of the colorful madder dyes originally used. Evonne chose coordinating pieces from her extensive collection of American Civil War fabrics.

Welcome to Clothesline Quilts Pattern Company featuring traditional quilt and craft patterns for the home and family by Evonne Cook.

A former community college employee who has always enjoyed sewing & tailoring, I learned to sew in 7th grade Home Ec class. But since quilting caught my attention, I spend my time in the quilting and designing mode.

Married for 40 years, our children are all married now with children of their own. John and I enjoy our 11 wonderful grandchildren and still farm the family farm of row crops, corn & soybeans, in northwest Iowa. My pattern company is based in our rural farm home, and I love it that way; it really is more fun than work. I also now thoroughly enjoy designing fabric collections with P & B/Washington Street Studio.
